智慧型家庭系統的定義為-在家庭中連結成網路的生活家電系統,當所有家電可由網路互相傳遞訊息時,便可以經由ㄧ個主控端如家通訊閘(Home Gateway)來管理家庭的事務。 智慧型家庭網路(Smart Home Network)之觀念衍生,最早是由「家庭自動化」(Home Automation)觀念開始發展,其簡單定義是指藉由鍵盤、觸控式螢幕或電話等裝置,監控屋內電器產品或是系統設備之操作,如電燈、冷氣空調設備、保全設備等等,透過自動技術針對居家生活需求提供科技化之服務,使得產品更具備智慧化之應用。 本論文完成了ㄧ個以ZigBee 感測網路為架構的家庭無線網路系統,此系統結合國內所推廣的SAANET(Smart Appliance Allience NET)家電通訊協定。在此環境下,家庭無線網路和外界網路間介接一台家通訊閘,所有家電藉由無線的方式傳遞訊息給家通訊閘,家通訊閘除了連接內部網路外也連接了外部的網際網路。此外,我們所建構的系統搭配資料庫和使用者介面,使家電控制變得更多元化也更方便。
Smart home system is defined as that, in the family, all the appliances can pass messages to each other by net such that we can manage the family affairs by a host called home gateway. The concept of the smart home network is originally developed from the concept of "home automation,” which was simply defined by using the keyboard, touch screen, telephone, and other devices to monitor or operate electrical products in a house, such as lights, air-conditioning, security equipment, and so on. By these automation technology for home life, the services of appliances enable more intelligent application. This paper implements a ZigBee based home WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) in which SAANET protocol, a protocol promoted by domestic manufactures of appliances, is stacked upon the ZigBee protocol. In this environment, a home gateway interfaces the home WSN and the internet such that the appliances communicate with the home gateway and the home gateway conveys the messages to or from the world outside. Besides,with the help of a friendly user interface and an effective database,the diverse applications of home control become possible and easy.
